The news of a student arriving at their prom party in a helicopter at Elite High School has sparked a range of reactions in Uganda.
This weekend, social media platforms were abuzz with excitement as a student from Elite High School made a grand entrance to their long-awaited 2024 prom party.
In Uganda, it is uncommon for students to use helicopters as a mode of transportation, especially for prom parties. Typically, students opt for expensive cars to make a statement as they arrive with their dates.
However, one student decided to take it to the next level by arriving in a helicopter, much to the delight of their fellow students and social media users.
A video capturing the helicopter’s descent at the school quickly circulated online, triggering mixed responses.
Some users criticized the extravagant trend, arguing that spending over 3 million for a mere 30 minutes of flying was unnecessary. They deemed it excessive and questioned the practicality of such a decision.
